Rating:The 2 oz. are a nice size. They can dent if you drop them but not so easily that I won't keep buying them. I'm happy with the screw lids, they work well.

Rating:I love these containers!! I'd been buying a similar product from another vendor for over a year, but they very difficult to open (the lid came down very low and there was little space to grip the bottom while twisting the lid) and they sometimes came scuffed up - but THESE are WONDERFUL!! They came wrapped individual in plastic and each one (I bought 30) is just perfect (I'd seen a review below where they were dented) - no dents, no scuffs- very nicely secured in a box. I am so happy I bought these!!

Rating:I use this container for salt scrubs and body butters. I like the industrial look of the ridged screw top and this design facilitates easy opening. The matte finish gives it a professional, retail ready look. My customers appreciate that aluminum is a recyclable material. Some reviewers have noted dents, but my orders of canisters arrived dent-free. I plan to continue using ND's aluminum canisters for my product line.

Rating:These 3 oz Aluminum Canisters (With Screw Top Lid) are excellent for my smaller shaving soaps. The quality and packaging were great and delivery was super-fast. Thank you!

Rating:These worked well for us. Both times we ordered a few of these, the canisters were not padded when shipped and sustained significant damage. I called the first time there was damage but after this second time, when almost every tin had dents, I will not order these again. We just don't have time to return them due to our retail demand- but it makes our product look in poor condition.

New Directions Aromatics Response:

We are very sorry for the fact that your canisters arrived dented, we will investigate our warehouse operations to see what we can do to improve how we pack the canisters so that they arrive in good condition.

Rating:These containers are not as heavy as some others you can buy, but they are very nice if you don't want a real weighty container. The lids stay screwed on nicely; I have had problems with other tins from another supplier regarding this. I have had no problems with denting, so far. I use them for lip balm and also for an herbal balm.

Rating:Very disappointed in these. I got them in the 1/2 size to use as mini creme blush sample holders for my customers. First off, they look a bit cheap thanks to the notched border around the lid and the low tinny sheen. And they feel flimsy with almost no weight to it, I could have been holding a bit of paper. To top it off at least half the containers in the package were dented, most on the bottom, but some on the lids, and so I couldn't use them in the way that I had intended, so that's a loss I have to absorb since I had to basically throw them out. The two larger 3.3 and 5oz containers that I ordered alongside the 1/2oz ones weren't dented but they too looked cheap and felt flimsy. I specifically got them because of the screw on tops and because they were cheaper than the ones I usually purchase, I guess there was a reason. They don't looked like the weighty polished aluminum canisters that I'm used to, containers that I've been getting on Ebay of all places, go figure. Won't be repurchasing them here. This so far has been my only disappointing NDA purchase.

Rating:I ordered these for the first time in the 2 oz size for my body balm and I just LOVE them. The finished product is so cute and professional looking....I am thinking of trying the other sizes for some of my other products too!
I will definitely be ordering more of these on my next order!

The 15mL size is perfect for holding samples, or making travel-sized versions of my product. And no worries about it falling open in someone's purse or backpack and making a big mess. Thank-you again, NDA!

Rating:Thank goodness for New Directions! These canisters with screw on lids included are perfect and exactly what I have been looking for. There is a lid liner in each lid too. Each canister is thoughtfully packed in its own little baggie to prevent scratching - I will reuse this when selling my products to the customer. I found the lid easy to grab & turn even wet or slippery hands.

Rating:I love this aluminum canister, very light and fit perfectly my products; plus the lids come with it, so no need to have to spend time looking for the best lids. You have to handle it very carefully to avoid bendings and scratching though, (which is very understandable, you can't have it all) other than that I love it.

Rating:Hi. I would like to say, first, how well New Directions packs everything. Each tin is in it's own little individual baggy so it can't get scratched. Very thoughtful and impressive. My customers have already commented on how much easier it is to get into the screw on lid. My labels fit and look great on the 60ml size. Keep up the excellent work! Thanks!

Rating:This cannister is absolutely perfect because of the screw-on lid. The lid slides off the seamless ones too easily and customers end up with oily product in places it shouldn't be. I've been searching for a very long time for this type of metal container to put my salves in, so thank you !
